Course
Farah Javed
Explore the distinction between God-given rights and government-granted privileges, examining consent, property, citizenship, and the competition between church and state within the context of law, history, and Biblical principles.
This micro-learning course, "Figuring It All Out: Protection by God vs Government," guides learners through the foundational differences between inalienable rights endowed by the Creator and privileges granted by governments. Through ten concise modules, the course unpacks how consent transforms private rights into public privileges, the evolution of property ownership and citizenship, and the profound implications of government dependency. It delves into the Biblical perspective on trusting God over governmental systems, the historical shift from sovereign individuals to government-dependent subjects, and the dangers of idolizing government. Learners will analyze the balance between church and state, recognize signs of government overreach, and understand their civic duties in protecting freedoms. Each module is enriched with detailed explanations, real-world scenarios, and actionable takeaways, empowering participants to reclaim personal sovereignty and advocate for their natural rights responsibly.
